SECURING YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS

It is becoming more common for people to hold digital assets, such as family photographs stored in the cloud, crypto currency and social media accounts.

These digital assets usually have unique passwords and other access requirements. Further, there may be terms and conditions which limit how these digital assets are dealt with once a person passes away.

As a result, it is important that you deal with your digital assets in your Will and/ or plan for them to be managed by someone you trust after you pass away. Otherwise, digital assets could become inaccessible or could be misused (for example on the dark web).

It is also important to let your executors know what digital assets you have and to ensure that they have legal authority and the required passwords to access digital assets in the event of your death.

As part of your estate plan and your Will, consider who you wish to deal with your digital assets when you die, including providing clear instructions in your Will. Do not put passwords or other such credentials in your Will, as it may become a public document through the probate process. Instead, this information should be securely stored (for example using a password manager).

Contact the team at Grant & Simpson Lawyers to discuss your estate planning needs:

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT | EMPLOYMENT LAW

The Queensland Industrial Relations Act 1999 sets out the minimum standards or obligations of employment. Where the employer is a corporation, the Commonwealth or a waterside, maritime or flight crew entity then the Commonwealth Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act 2005 now overrides the Queensland Act. Different industries or different businesses within those industries may have their own Industrial Award or Contract of Employment or Certified or Workplace Agreement, but they usually cannot offer less than the minimum provision set out in the Industrial Relations Act.

Formal agreements can now be put in place under the Commonwealth Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act of 2005 as an alternative to an award.

It is recommended that you seek advice from Grant & Simpson Lawyers if you are an employer considered dismissing an employee to ensure that you follow the correct procedure to avoid an action for wrongful dismissal. Alternatively, if you are an employee we can advise you in respect of your rights to avoid dismissal or to enable an action for re-employment or compensation.
